Leg bruises for over 6months!
by angelsgirl321, Jan 24, 2009 11:57AM
Hello, I am a 23 year old female. I have had a number of bruises on both of my legs (shins & calves), that have been there for over 6 months. Prob. about 10 on each leg. They are not painful and I do not remember injuring myself in any way. They are all the same color- a pale black/blue. Then resently I have had a sharp throbbing on the right side of my right calf, even when I am at rest. The pain is there when I go to bed & gives me difficulty sleeping and is still there when I wake up in the morning. ??? What could this be?

I can think of a half-dozen possibilities, none of them serious if they are treated in time.
You may have a systemic clotting disorder, which means that the problem in your legs (bleeding into the tissues) could take place if you accidentally fell and hit your head.
Sometimes this condition is due to medications.
Please see a physician for a complete check-up as soon as possible.
